Okay so I'm trying to lose a few inches around the belly, but I have to confess I'm a whiskey drinker.....I have about 2 drinks after work everyday....I do boxing and kickboxing 3-4 days a week. The food calorie count says it's something like 1300 - 1500 calories! Is that right???????? Any suggestions?

    Whiskey definitely is not that many calories. It should be around 70 per ounce, along the same lines as rum.

    Perhaps if you drink a bottle? Should be about 150 or so (per shot). I'd re-check.

    Crown Royal Special Reserve only has 64 calories per 1 ounce of alcohol.

    It depends on how large your glass is and if you like a little coke with it. An 8oz glass of coke is about 100 calories and there are 560 calories in a 8oz glass of whiskey. So if you have a 8oz glass of both (half/half - 4oz coke / 4oz whiskey) it will have 330 calories.

    A red plastic cup full (16oz - half/half - 8oz coke / 8oz whiskey) would be 660 calories.

    If you do drink coke with it try a diet coke, the calories will be about 280 for a 8oz (half/half - 4oz coke / 4oz whiskey).

    Hope this helps!

    An ounce...is not that much. I tried carefully measuring out 3 ounces of my favorite Irish whiskey...um, yeah. If you are a whiskey lover, you're kidding yourself if you think that's all you're drinking! If you are having "two drinks" its probably not 1300 calories, but its probably pretty easily 600, unfortunately. And that's straight or with ice. That's the equivalent of a pretty good meal.

    If you are trying to lose weight, you are going to have to cut out the every night drinks. You just are. Weight loss is un-natural, and so, you are going to have to do some un-natural things...like cut back on some things you really like. Make it a Friday, Saturday thing. When you've lost the weight, you can probably phase it back it in for maintenance.

    Few people lose weight having cupcakes everyday, and few people lose weight drinking alcohol everyday. Don't grumble or try to get around it. Just do it.
